Risks of sleeping in rock n play
I'm seeing a lot of you let your LO do a lot of sleeping in their rock n play. I want to provide this info so you can make an informed decision, but know that I'm not judging you.
Im summarizing the points made here, by a professional pediatric occupational therapist: http://www.candokiddo.com/news/rocknplay
1- goes against SIDS guidelines
2-semi reclined contributes to flat head syndrome and torticollis
3-semi reclined is not shown to reduce reflux
4-restricts natural, healthy baby development through movement (she calls rock n play time, lump on the log time)
Note that these things are for babies who spend a lot of time in their rock n play. She offers some alternatives at the ends if the article.
Like I said, not judging. I have a rock n play for my LO to use when she gets here, too. I just want everyone to feel informed. I feel like information is power and I want all of us women to feel empowered as mothers.
